Rudys truck jam fall 20165/18/2023 ![]() The blacked-out rig had some performance modifications too, as a custom intercooler could be spotted through the grille. This super clean OBS (old body style) truck made us stop in our tracks, and is one of the finer examples of one of these trucks that we’ve seen in a while. Unfortunately, Brett didn’t get the turbos spooled up on the line in eliminations, and lost to Sam Schmitt. Launching on a Rossler-based TH400 transmission with a transbrake, the truck cut unreal low 1.3-second 60ft times and rocketed to 5.63 at 128mph in the eighth-mile. If you’re anywhere near the East Coast (or even if you aren’t), make sure to mark those dates on your calendar, as Rudy’s puts on a show that is simply too good to miss! DW The coveted number One qualifier spot belonged to Brett Deutsch, who was right near the class minimum 4,500-pound weight in his 1,300rwhp, Duramax-powered C-10. The Fall event will continue as well, and will take place on October 9th and 10th. In just a few months on April 24th and 25th, Rudy’s Spring event will roll around at Galot Motorsports Park, an even bigger venue that will host more trucks, spectators, and vendors. If you weren’t one of the 5,000-plus fans that showed up for Rudy’s Fall event, there’s no need to worry. The two straight days of pulling made for a great show, as those participants who didn’t have a good hook on Friday, got another chance the very next evening. Most competitors stayed around and pulled again with the Carolina Truck and Tractor Pullers on Saturday night, which also had street classes that allowed normal diesel works trucks a chance to hook to the sled. The Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League made a stop at Rudy’s as well, and some of the hottest trucks in the nation battled it out in 3.0 and Super Stock classes. For a taste of extreme speed, Scheid Diesel brought out their Cummins-powered diesel Dragster and wowed the fans with some low 4-second elapsed times in the eighth mile, at more than 180mph. There were also bracket classes where racers had to run as close to their dial ins, without going under. This year’s Fall Truck Jam also had one of the biggest purses in diesel drag racing a $16,000 Pro Street shootout that gave $10,000 to the winner, and brought out some of the most exciting trucks in the country. Rudy’s Spring and Fall events have grown from small dyno days, into all-out diesel extravaganzas, with drag racing, sled pulling, a show n shine, and of course, dyno action. Over the last few years Rudy’s Diesel, a Durham, North Carolina-based shop, has hosted some of the most exciting diesel events that the East Coast has to offer. ![]()
